    Went there for lunch. Waitress said she would get to me. She disappeared for a while, so I left without eating.

    Kool old bar in Fairhope Alabama!! I really like the quaint town of Fairhope!!

    Fun place. Good energy. Good service. Recommend the wings. And branch water. Super ambiance. Both inside and outside available!!

    Pip loves these fries-and no, she wasn't allowed to eat all of those, but she would have!

    My pups and I love stopping here for lunch on the deck. It's very convenient to most of the shopping, and there's usually parking available out front. I enjoy the seafood bisque, and Pip prefers the fries-they even leave off the seasoning for her. The folks here are always friendly and very attentive without being annoying. I definitely recommend this place!

    Ribeye with Asparagus and Mashed Potatoes!  Excellent!!!

    We decided to eat at Bone and Barrel after a really fun evening watching Chico play at their outdoor venue. I ordered the ribeye with asparagus and mashed potatoes. I have to say, it was awesome! Seasoned perfectly, and cooked to a spot-on medium rare. Paired with a nice glass of Meomi and it was magical! Great job, Bone and Barrel staff, completely nailed it! A fun time watching and listening to great live music and then pair it with an outstanding meal....Outstanding! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

    Fun outside seating.

    The food is good here. We sat outside as inside. It was very loud, including music ( not live). The outdoor spaces whimsical. I ordered a shrimp Poboy with coleslaw. Everything was delicious. However, I asked for grilled shrimp and it came fried. The waitress did apologize for the error. The sandwich would've been better if they did not split the role in half, causing the shrimp to fall out. I had to eat it with a fork and knife and not as a sandwich but that was OK. My dining partner really liked his hamburger. I have been here twice and will go again.

    the best thing since sliced

    Had to drop some stars here. I ordered 2 of the blackened snapper specials over The weekend and it was pretty bad. Way overcooked don't much so it was like trying to eat and cut through rubber. They tend to overlook everything from onion rings to the French fries. I really wanted this to be good since I always see snapper on the specials especially right now, but again very disappointed, especially with the overall price. Maybe they can do better one day.

    We have walked by so many times and decided to stop in for a late lunch. We found that this hole in the wall is the locals diamond in the ruff. We were greeted by the sweetest lady. You just want to give her a hug! It was busy, local Mardigras parades, a beautiful Saturday...like I said it was busy. A cold beer in hand and some recommendations from our waiter. Never did get his name, remember it's busy. Wow what an incredible meal. My Ahi was perfectly cooked and complimented by a wasabi aioli. My wife's Pork rind nachos were covered in barrage of flavors and colors. The girls shared and my daughter chose the Grouper. Light, tender and crisp. My only observation is to do better with the restrooms. I will be back! Let's support our local businesses!

    Who doesn't love bacon !

    This is a bar with good food, if you like appetizers and THE BEST FRIES, they remind me of fried mash potatoes curls. We would put the wings in our top 5 best wings! I love the downtown hometown feel too.

    It was my wife's birthday, and thus she had the privilege to choose where we would go for brunch…read more I had previously decided that I would not dine at this restaurant again, not because I had some gripe about the food, which was excellent, but because their table arrangement in the main dinning area made it difficult for wheelchair bound customers, such as myself, to navigate. This was not a hard and solid decision on my part. Instead I had decided that if I had my druthers, I would not eat there. Of course when it is my babécita's birthday my druthers were of no consideration and I found myself again at Tamara's for a Saturday brunch. We arrived to find the main dinning area to be full, and since we didn't feel like eating in the open to the outside area, we learned that we had an estimated 20-30 minutes wait for a table. Their was six to eight customers waiting around the hostess's stand inside, with another six waiting outside under a covered area. We decided to wait outside, but after about 15 minutes a rain shower began. The kind people waiting on the benches and standing under the awning encouraged us to move in further from the edge where they we were getting wet. A couple standing moved into the restaurant to make even more room for us. The hostess, seeing that it was raining outside when this couple opened the door, came to the door and invited us all in, announcing that she would make room for us all. Which she promptly did. My wife had informed the hostess of my needs, and had requested a corner table for ease of access, but once inside the restaurant, I noticed that the table arrangement seemed less crowded, which helped to ease my concerns about getting to a table. As it happened, right at the 20 minute mark, we were informed that our table was ready, and we were led to a table, not on a corner, but to a table at the end of a row of tables, and against a partition. I found this arrangement even better than our requested corner table, as it meant that I had no foot traffic behind me that I might inadvertently bump into, or bump into me. I was grateful for the evidently experienced hostess working out such a fine alternative to our request, and doing it in such a timely manner. Now I get to the food, and wait staff service. All I can say is that Tamara's management has both pegged to the highest degree. Our waiter appeared immediately, took our orders since we had perused the menu while we were waiting to be seated. As for our food, my birthday girl had the Spinach Eggs Benedict, and I had the Fried Chicken and Waffles. Both were excellent. Neither of us had a single complaint, and my wife, who is fascinated with Tamara's long list of various types of Eggs Benedicts, promised that we will be back for many more visits to try each one. I am grateful that I was forced to forego my pledge not to patronize this establishment again, as it provided an opportunity to learn how the good people at Tamara's made adjustments that allowed my experience to be enjoyed more fully. I am also grateful in that we can continue to enjoy their excellent food.

First off, the ambiance is very nice--comfortable, welcoming, and a great setting for a casual evening out. The service was also very good. Our server was attentive and friendly, which definitely made a positive impression. As for the food: * Raw oysters ($22): Fresh, plump, and overall very good quality. That said, it almost felt like each oyster had a bit of added salt, which threw me off a little. Not bad, just slightly off from what I'd expect. * Sushi-grade ahi tuna appetizer ($14): This was one of the highlights--very good flavor and nicely prepared. * Gumbo (large - $12): Probably the biggest disappointment. I'd rate it about a 5/10. It wasn't terrible, but it lacked depth and richness compared to what you'd expect in this region. * Happy hour mimosa ($3) and margarita ($6): Solid for the price--no complaints there. Total came out to about $62 cash ($64.30 with card fee), which feels reasonable for what we ordered. Overall, this is a place I'd come back to if I were already in the area and someone suggested it, but not somewhere I'd go out of my way for. If I did return, it would likely be for the oysters or the ahi tuna. Good experience, just not quite memorable enough to push it past three stars.

From the coffee to the biscuit and everything in between, you can tell that those folks in the back know how to cook breakfast. My wife ordered the Western omelet, and opted for the Spinach. I know we didn't take three sips of coffee before our food came out piping hot and fresh off the griddle! The eggs were perfect as were the hash browns. I like my biscuit as dessert, and I'm happy to say I was not disappointed. Guys, we'll be back. There's no question Julian is on our must see list on our next trip to Fairhope.

It honestly feels a little like you stumbled into a hidden spot on vacation. The food was solid across the board.

The menu has a great mix, from burgers to pasta and seafood, so it's easy to find something no matter what you're in the mood for. The shrimp and grits and the pasta dishes are delicious , and even the appetizers were on point. Service was just as good, friendly, attentive, but not hovering. You don't feel rushed, which is rare these days. What really makes this place though is the vibe. Whether you sit inside or out, it's got that relaxed, slightly upscale but still comfortable feel. If you're in Fairhope and want somewhere that feels local (not touristy), this is it. Easy 5 stars. Will definitely go back!!
